The University of Texas at Austin Reviews

"Great knowledgeable professors, extensive network and great social interactions."

"The University of Texas at Austin is one of the most prestigious schools across the nation. Growing up in Austin, I already knew I loved the area, but it was the education that convinced me to choose UT to receive my doctorate of pharmacy degree. With over a 100 pharmacy schools in the United States, the University of Austin is ranked number 4! The pharmacy program is very challenging, but I know once I complete it I will be the best in my field. The school offers great resources, technology, and the best professors in the nation."

"Every class you could want and strong competition that drives you to succeed later in life. UT has a great culture and every extra curricular activity you could want. You have to seek out mentorship and advice because the campus is so large but the advice is there and the people who helped me were very eager to help."

"Pros': Competitive, Experienced Professors, Staff helps you find an internship, hard work Con's: Lots of students"

"The University of Texas at Austin offers students an opportunity to take advantage of affordable education from a top tier institution. The city is wonderful. The environment is conducive to the pursuit of academia and the faculty is amazing. Overall, the University of Texas School of Law is an excellent institution and highly encourage anyone thinking of a future career in law to apply and schedule a visit with the Admissions Department. I had several offers from law schools in the top 14, and the University of Texas by far offered me the most money. So far, I am loving the city and the school's competitive yet welcoming environment."

"Good experience so far, wish the program was more diverse and had more funding opportunities."

"The masters program at McCombs provide a vast network of alumni and companies for recruiting opportunities. However, the program is not as highly ranked as its undergraduate counterpart."

"A great place- a lot is expected of you but much is given in return."

"It is academically excellent and the faculty is very supportive and available. The online system of the university is very confusing and not very useful."

"Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas - Austin is among the top 10 environmental engineering programs of the country. The faculty members are top notch and job opportunities after school can be found without much trouble. On the down side, funding opportunities are somewhat scarce."

"This is an incredibly competitive and intense program but is GREAT for getting a job immediately. All of my cohort has been accepted for jobs starting next fall and not one person has had any issues with the placement process. The faculty are difficult and the classes are challenging, but overall the education is excellent."

"The alternate entry program is great for students changing careers. It is time-intensive for the first 4 semesters, however, so plan your life accordingly."

"pros: in-person, outstanding research background, award-winning faculty, in a fun town cons: traffic, current construction in the area, parking, cost of tuition"

"The pros are the small class sizes, outstanding faculty and peer support, the thriving literary environment of Austin, and the funding. The cons would be the time length of the program (so short!), some problems with structure of courses I TA for, and the work load that interferes with writing time---which is what I'm here to do."

"The UT Austin Philosophy Department + large faculty, diverse array of research + very strong in Mind and Language + great affordable city + sociable colleagues/classmates - low-to-moderate annual stipend"

"Great congeniality and collaboration here in the English department"

"Physics department normally give students TA in their first two years. So you have to balance your research, study and teaching in that time. It might be a little busy but worthwhile if you want to be a professor in the future."

"UT Grad school is very well respected and there are plenty of resources and opportunities...you just have to take advantage of them. Pros- career and research seminars are abundant Cons- BME does a poor job of connecting students to industry."

"The program is good, the education quality is well. However, the financial support is not enough."

"Heavy political bickering in this department creates an unproductive environment for students. Funding is unstable --and the funding packages used by the department to recruit students are unreliable. Look elsewhere."
